Subject: Former NHL coach Pat Burns dies at 58
Written By: Frank on 11/19/10 at 6:29 pm
Pat Burns, who went from tough-as-nails police officer to one of the best defensive coaches in NHL history, died Friday after a long battle with cancer.
He was 58.
Burns, a native of Montreal’s hardscrabble St-Henri district, won 501 games in 15 seasons as an NHL coach with the Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils, which he led to the 2002-03 Stanley Cup title in his first season with the club.
“Pat was a close friend to us all, while dedicating his life to his family and to the game of hockey,” Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello said in a statement.
“The hockey world has lost a great friend and ambassador. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Line, and the entire Burns family.”
He was the only coach in NHL history to win the Jack Adams Trophy as the league’s coach of the year three times, winning it with the Canadiens in 1988-89, the Leafs in 1992-93 and the Bruins in 1997-98.

He was truly a legendary hockey coach, and will be very sadly missed.
